Rethinking the basics

When's the last time you re-examined how you do common activities and decided to learn how to do them better?Reinvesting in the basics can be a huge liberator, bringing minutes or hours back into your schedule every day.Just ask yourself simple questions, such as how much time do I spend in Microsoft Word or MS Outlook or Firefox? If I spend alot of time there am I using them well? Could I save time by doing it better?When I go grocery shopping, would i save time by bringing a list - perhaps one that was sorted by section?Am I commuting to work in the most time efficient manner?

Granted these questions should be asked periodically and not constantly, but they can bring you very big answers and results.
